1/2 Brithday

Wednesday, January 25 just happened to be my 18 1/2 birthday and I was determined to have a good day. Nothing was going to get me down-not even the rain! To my delight and surprise the girls had hung happy birthday signs out side my door-what a great way to start the day. Because of the signs most people who walked by took it upon themselves to wish me a happy birthday! After classes and work it was time to finish up my big paper on Jonah and wishing that I could go to Taco Bell instead of the cafeteria for dinner. Soon Rachel comes in a suggests that very thing and I eagerly took her up on it-telling her to go invite Ruth-Anne as I got ready. Soon she was back saying that she couldn't find her and we were on our way. As we pulled in, parked and got out of the car I saw a jeep(looking very much like Erins)and thought how fun it would be to have her there-like a little party. Not two seconds later I walked though the door and was shockingly surpised to see 8 girls jump up from behind a counter and wish me a happy half birthday-no wonder Rachel couldn't find Ruth-Anne! After a great dinner with much laughter we got back into the car and I was hit with another surprise-The evening wasn't over yet. They took me to Red Robin for dessert! (At the Red Robin that we went to they tie the balloons around your neck when they sing to you-talk about embarrasing)but I did get a bowl of vanella ice cream(no chacolate!!!!). Basically it was one of the best nights that I have ahd in a very long time-just thought that I would share it with all of you!

Movie Tips

Anyone up for a good movie? Last Holiday is just what you are looking for! A cute movie about the way we live life and what one woman did when she found out she didn't have to much time left. A fun, light-hearted film that was an enjoyment and a good way to spend a dreary afternoon. Previews were good two. Here are some that I am going to have a hard time waiting for: Take the Lead, Lady in the Water, Stick it, and Something New. I encourage all of you to go look them up on IMDB and see for yourselves.

Interpretive Dance

Nothing lifts the spirits like watching a friend create a very impromto interpretive dance. It all started when Rachel brought back her keyboard and her roommate Erin and I got a hold of it. It is a really cool keyboard that plays songs and then shows you how to play them. After examination we found the song "Let it be" by the Beattles and have been playing it non stop since then. After two days of "whisper words of wisdom" running through my head I gave into the fact that it is never going to go away and that I might as well have as much fun with it as I could. So I hooked Ashley's speakers up to my computer, turned the volume up as far as it would go, and blasted my now favorite Beattles song thoughout the dorm. And sure enough Erin rose to the occation and did a wonderful number including jumping off walls and turning circles on the floor-it was basically the best interpretive dance I have ever seen. Just thought you all should know about it!
